I believe the scholars who have studied the GOT and conclude that a basic core 50% of early Jesus material was overlaid by a group of people who had a gnostic belief system.
Finding value in the GOT leads to a gnostic worldview, and not a Jesus world view. The bible is a better place to form a Jesus worldview, there’s plenty there to challenge a person and to learn from without adding man-made philosophies into the mix to waylay us.
